Gear used: Solidbody/Les Paul style guitar w. mahogany body, mahogany neck & rosewood fretboard. I only used quality electronics/cables by the likes of Allparts, Switchcraft and DiMarzio. The strings are always fresh (D'Addario EXL145), pick is always the same brand.
Sounds by Kemper Profiling Amp.
Pickup distance is always the same: exactly 3mm from the top and bottom pole piece when pressing the strings down at the last fret.
Volume differences leveled as close as possible in ALL samples except the first two (“S1-Clean-Hartley-HB” & “S2-Clean-Hartley-CS”) - please use those to get a feel for the differences in volume.
Guitar tuning is Drop C.
There are no FX on these samples – no compression, no noise gate, no EQ etc. etc. (all of those would slightly change the characteristics of these pickups). I did however add a touch of reverb to give the sound a little bit of space to breath.
Please note: the songs aren't mixed or mastered and I didn't edit the samples to perfection – editing them in that detail would take far too much time!
I hope you can still appreciate the effort ;-)
There are a LOT of different shootouts upcoming, so please subscribe and hit the notification bell! :-)
PS: Tomorrow I will try to stop smoking, wish me luck! :-)
My opinion on these pickups: ...is coming in a couple of days!
